RE: [Inkscape-user] Area Selection Tool?

This vector equivalent to the bitmap fuzzy-select/ >magic-wand tool would be extremely useful. Would you want it to follow invisible edges? I commented on the feature request, but someone else said that it would be better to rasterize the image, trace the shape, and then vectorize the result. I think this is a mistake, it should follow edges exactly. If there are hidden edges then this can be overcome by creating a number of shapes and welding them together. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Win32 help
by Jon A. Cruz 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

I've got a few bugs open for Win32 issues, and a few ideas on how to address them. What I don't have is a good way to compile or run Win32 tests here on my Mac. :-) What would be helpful would be anyone who could either build win32 versions with some tweaks or anyone who could run quick tests with those builds. Especially given our freeze state, I don't want to check anything in to CVS that hasn't gone through actual build and user testing. So... If anyone could help with either of those aspects (I've had a few people mention this in chat), just drop me a quick email directly and say if you can compile, test, or both. (no need to clutter the mailing lists to responses to this) Thanks.

RE: [Inkscape-user] Symbols and Fonts
by Hibbs, Phil 16 Sep '05

You would have to install the fonts on at least one computer, but once you had done that, you could then convert the symbols that you need into outlines and then save them as .svg for future use. If you want to distribute aby .svg files containing those symbols, though, you would have to worry about copyright on the fonts. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Senior Programmer __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Windows version: Internal error
by Oak 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hello, I use Inkscape on my Linux (after several years with Sodipodi) and I used also Inscape at work on WinXP. But now, I tried to install latest Inkscape on WinXP on my new laptop (due to problems with HW vs. Linux installation) as a partial solution, but I get "Iscape encountered an interanll error and will close now." message with "Close" button. There's no log file or whatever that could lead to the solution of a problem... I also tried to replace the binary executable for the "LATEST" available windows binary, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Regards, Libor

Color fill
by Chuck Kelsey 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hello to the group. I'm new here and new to Inkscape. I've spent way too many hours on this, so I'm going to ask..... I have created an image of a plaque. The border around it is essentially lines and curves connected together until they meet at the starting point, then another that is one grid square inside of the first. I want to fill the area between the parallel lines (that form the border) with a color, then fill the inside of the plaque image with a different color. I can manage to get odd-ball areas to fill with color, but that's it. What am I doing wrong? Chuck
